The trial for Kim Potter, the officer who shot 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop in Minnesota, began Tuesday.  

Attorneys started examining potential jurors and taking a close look at their positions and views on police, protests and the Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter movements, the Associated Press reported.

During a traffic stop in April, Wright was pulled over by police. Potter, a police veteran with more than 25 years of experience, pulled out her gun during a scuffle, shooting Wright in the chest. She alleges she meant to grab her Taser instead.  

Former Police Chief Tim Gannon released the body camera footage of the shooting after the incident and supported the claim it may have been an accident.

Potter’s attorney Paul Engh plans to argue that she made a mistake and did not intend to shoot Wright. “Officer Potter’s regret is abundantly clear on the body camera videos and will be with her the rest of her life,” Engh said. “But hers was an innocent mistake. An accident is not a crime.”  

Prospective jurors have responded to questionnaires similar to the ones used in the trial for Derek Chauvin. Nearly 200 people gave information on what they know about the case and whether or not they had a positive or negative reaction to Potter and Wright, according to AP.

The potential jurors were also asked about marches against police brutality in the area, the demonstrations’ impact on the community and if they support defunding the police.  

Potter has been charged with first-degree manslaughter and second-degree manslaughter. Prosecutors must prove recklessness and culpable negligence.  

If convicted, Potter faces more than seven years in prison for the first-degree manslaughter charge and four years for the second-degree manslaughter charge. Prosecutors say they will seek a longer sentence if she is convicted.
